SUMMER/2010 25Chanel Looks Naomi Watts Makeup Artist Fulvia Farolﬁ Beauty Inspiration: “Naomi wore a stunning ma- genta silk one shoulder gown, with a pleated big bow on the one shoulder. For the make up we felt like a light eye and bright lip would comple- ment the look. With her fair complexion, blue eyes and blonde hair, it is my favorite look on her. We did not want to make it look retro.
